If you have to develop the value of an automobile, get a description of the automobile
that is complete enough to enable you to find it on J.D. Power Values Online (for
example, 1992 Chevrolet Nova, four cylinder, two door).
The Average Trade-In Value provided by J.D. Power Values Online is the CMV used for
resource determinations. If the Trade-In Value is unavailable from the site, obtain
the Trade-In Value from a disinterested knowledgeable source. For additional information
on SSA Purchase of Evidence, see GN 00301.210.
NOTE: If the automobile is more than 20 but less than 25 years old, use the value shown
for it at 20 years old.
NOTE: Do not use J.D. Power Values Online Rough Trade-In Value or Clean Trade-In Value
as the CMV for resource determinations unless the recipient presents clear evidence
indicating consideration in one of those categories.
